After a hike on the Mt. Major trail, we were in desperate need of some ice cream, and this was the closest spot nearby. We headed straight there and were pleased to find plenty of parking and tables with a view of the lake and bay.
As a local New Hampshire chain, they offered a variety of “New England” flavors like Maple Walnut and Maine Black Bear, along with some other fun options. I was especially happy to find a couple sherbet options, with the Orange sherbet being my favorite. The Maple Walnut and Pineapple flavors were also exceptional and worth trying.

I don’t know what is better – the delicious creamy scoops filled with lots of mix-ins and sauce OR the gorgeous location right next to the water on the bay. The store doesn’t have any seating per se but there are LOTS of park benches, benches on the boardwalk and nice green grass….. all available for you to enjoy your fairly prices and generous scoops. As an FYI for those who care about such things (we consider it), they don’t make their own ice cream but are a direct distributor of Richardson’s Farm in Massachusetts. Many many great seasonal flavor options (I would guess 30+), don’t miss it!

A must stop every time we’re in Alton. A cone and a walk down to the Bay to look at boats. Staff is always great.

Had apple pie ice cream and there was apples in it but no crisp no apple pie pieces nothing and then I had pumpkin. It was OK. Nothing to brag about. I definitely wouldn’t go back there. I live in Rochester and their Apple crisp ice cream is really delicious.

What happened to portion size? I’ve been buying your 2-scoop kiddy dish for yearrrrs. Tonight I order the same and get one and a quarter scoops. Caught off guard and confused I ask the kid for the rest of my second scoop. He hesitates and then says he’ll do it for me, “but we don’t usually because the second scoop is always smaller.” I tell him, “really because I’ve never experience that here before,” and then, feeling awkward and uncomfortable I leave with my miniature ice cream (still 4.99 mind you). Is this the new Stillwell norm or was this a new hire trained poorly?

Fun, friendly and happy staff. Delicious, ginormous portions that are reasonably priced. We ordered small cones and that is what is in the picture! It is located right on the water. With a very large selection of flavors and menu items there is a sweet ice cream treat for all.

Good ice cream, lots of flavors, friendly service. The best part is the scenic view. There are few benches and tables to the side, perfect place to sit, enjoy your treat, and view the lake.
